Algae.Tec Congratulates Strategic Partner The Manildra Group on International Biofuels Certification

The RSB has developed a Global Sustainability Standard and Certification System for biofuel production. The RSB Certification System is approved by the European Commission, as proof of compliance with the Renewable Energy Directive (2009/28/EC).

The RSB Global Sustainability Standard represents a global consensus of over 120 organizations including farmers, fuel refiners, regulators and NGOs, and is intended to ensure the sustainability of biofuels production practices while streamlining compliance for industry.The RSB has announced that Manildra Group of Australia has been awarded the first completed commercial certification.

See-through solar materials that can be applied to windows represent a massive source of untapped energy. Together with more traditional rooftop units, they could nearly meet U.S. electricity demand and drastically reduce the use of fossil fuels.

A UD research team has invented a more efficient process for extracting the sugars from wood chips, corn cobs and other organic waste from forests and farms. This biorenewable feedstock could serve as a cheaper, sustainable substitute .
